If you haven’t come across SANJAY before, he’s the Joshua Tree-based multi-instrumentalist and electronic producer, making music with a purpose that fires the imagination.
From his forthcoming debut album, SANJAY releases single number three ‘Dive2’ in all its spiritual, deep electronica glory.
From headlining on the Playa at the legendary Burning Man to gaining fans in ViVA label boss Steve Lawler and the Grammy-nominated Zoo Brazil, SANJAY is quietly gathering a cult following.
The release of this new single follows the stripped-back, minimal remix of ‘Dive2’ by Crosstown Rebels label associate, Davi. It’s a special track for SANJAY on many levels and follows – in narrative fashion – the release of ‘Dive’ from his 2021 Initiation EP.
“I was going through a tough time in my twenties and my spiritual teacher told me, “Dive in deep to the darkness” when he was teaching me meditation – a mantra which became the main lyric in ‘Dive’. Yet I always felt like there was another part to that song… I’d fallen out with my oldest friend, there was a lot of betrayal, and we weren’t speaking – it was a tough time. I wrote the second part of the lyric when I was on a beach in Hawaii; ‘Dive in deep to the darkness AND be the light’, for him. Even though I couldn’t speak to him, this was my anthem to him to get to a more ascended, better place. I think it’s relatable to anyone going through a tough period.”

SANJAY’s debut album ‘Ancestral Visions’ will arrive in early 2024, combining pop culture and spirituality, drawing diverse inspiration from Nine Inch Nails, Prince, Tame Impala, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Neil Young and Kanye West.
